There are two references to the term "component value" that have
crept back in to the css-variables editor's draft since the last
working draft. I thought we'd agreed (multiple times, I think) that
this wasn't the approach we were taking. Instead, we are using
token stream substitution, because it is possible to describe in a
way that can lead to interoperable implementations without
all-but-one of the implementations having to rewrite.
In particular, I'd suggest replacing:
# A variable can be used in place of any component value in any
# property on an element.
with:
# A variable can be used in place of any part of a value in any
# property on an element.
and replacing:
# Similarly, you can't build up a single component value where
# part of it is provided by a variable:
with:
# Similarly, you can't build up a single token where part of it is
# provided by a variable:
